About: Questions sur les Miracles

Questions sur les Miracles, also known as Lettres sur les Miracles (Questions/Letters on miracles), is a series of pamphlets published by the French philosopher and author Voltaire. In these pamphlets Voltaire expresses many themes, including primarily his arguments against other recent pamphlets that had discussed religious miracles. Voltaire, in his responses found it ridiculous that God would occasionally violate nature's laws for a particular reason. Voltaire's first pamphlet was published July 1765, and during the course of that year, he published nineteen more. The pamphlets were published anonymously, and signed pseudonymously.
